Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 10, 2018, CytoDyn Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced the appointment of Michael A. Klump to its board of directors, effective August 10, 2018. Mr. Klump will fill one of the vacancies created by the resignations of Denis R. Burger, Ph.D. and A. Bruce Montgomery, M.D., on July 12, 2018.

Mr. Klump is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Argonne Capital Group, LLC (collectively with its affiliates, “Argonne”). Mr. Klump and Argonne are the beneficial owners of certain of the Company’s securities. On February 16, 2018, Argonne invested approximately $0.5 million in a private offering of the Company’s securities, on the same terms as the other offering investors. The terms are described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 20, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with Mr. Klump’s appointment as a director, on August 10, 2018, the Company granted Mr. Klump a non-qualified stock option to purchase up to 80,822 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a pro rata portion of the annual option grant received by each director. The option has an exercise price of $0.47 per share (equal to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date) and a ten-year term. The option will vest on September 1, 2018 with respect to 5,288 shares, and in three quarterly installments beginning on December 1, 2018 with respect to the remaining shares.

No arrangement or understanding exists between Mr. Klump and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Klump was appointed as a director. Mr. Klump will be compensated for his services consistent with the Company’s compensation policies for nonemployee directors. The Company’s board of directors has not yet determined the board committees to which Mr. Klump will be appointed.

On August 13, 2018, the Company issued a press release to announce the appointment of Mr. Klump as director, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
